What is the calligraphy of Badashanren?

Badashanren's calligraphy refers to the earliest chronological book trace left by Badashanren, which is the inscription and calligraphy in Sketch of Seal Characters written at the age of 34 in the 16th year of Shunzhi (1659).

Sketch Biography includes three calligraphy plates and seven inscriptions (three of which are written on the same plate). There are five regular scripts in these ten paragraphs, one official script, one cursive script and three running scripts. The styles of the three kinds of running scripts are different, which shows the calligraphy learning and creation of Badashan people in their early years. At this time, Badashan people have been able to write a relatively complete European regular script, with a well-balanced structure and appropriate stippling.

Badashanren's poems are full of mystery and irony because of their eccentric and quiet style, which has always been puzzling.

Generally speaking, the poems and paintings in all the paintings and calligraphy works of Badashan people before the age of 57 are characterized and inclined to express their followers' thoughts and moral integrity with paintings and calligraphy, which are often mixed with Zen and historical allusions, so the poems are obscure.

For example, "The Stone inscription on the Lake" in "Biography": You should break your waist, but you should break your tail: you can't scare ghosts and gods without an axe. Another example is "Plum Blossom" in "Plum Blossom Atlas" in 1952: For thirty years, Chu Shi's family has been swaying in the wind of wine flags. There is no saying that the bridge is broken, and the color is like apricot flowers today. This poem describes the poet's character and integrity, almost as if it were his own.
